Many germans go abroad for cheaper, and sometimes, better treatment. It's not uncommon to go on a "dental holiday" to Hungary, Romania, or Spain. An implant is usually in the range of 500-800€ in these places.

That sounds like the price of implant only, but if you add the price of crown and the entire procedure - it's likely in 1200-1500 EUR range - at least here in Croatia (we also have loads of private dentist offices catering to medical tourists)

Implants in Poland cost 1500 euros or more. Hard to believe you can get them for 500 euros in Spain?

I got one (ISOMED) in Belgrade for ~850 euros from a relatively prominent dentist. A lot of dentists here have patients from all over the Europe - it make sense if you're going to fix several teeth.

I don't want to link any specific dentist, but if you google "dental implant cost spain" you will find a few for even cheaper. Skilled labor, like construction is cheap here because we don't have a shortage of workers. For example, I was quoted 1150/square meters to build a brand new custom house.
